Cordova and WebRTC - an attempt to use the PhoneRTC plugin from OnSIP.

To create a hybrid native iOS WebRTC app, below are the items required

- Mac OSX 

- Cordova 

- ios-deploy (optional) 

cordova was installed in the machine already, so did not have to do that again. 

The cordova plugin includes WebRTC libraries for iOS, and SIP.js is a custom media handler to use the iOS WebRTC libraries, and a cordova build script to build and run the project on devices. 

Below are the steps to be followed: 

1. create a cordova project using cordova create Cordova-WebRTC 

2. now add the iOS platform by running the below command inside  the project directory 

cd Cordova-WebRTC 

cordova platform add iOS 

Add the OnSIP cordova plugin 

Below command adds the PhoneRTC WebRTC library to the Cordova project 

cordova plugin add http://github.com/onsip/onsip-cordova.git 

To run the project just need to follow the regular procedure 

cordova run ios

Since there is an inherent problem in running from the command line, used to run from the 

Xcode project. Based on the instructions, Set the architecture only to armv7. However, 

running the project seems to be giving the error saying the architecture not found for certain 

object files during link time. Below are the error spitted out by the Xcode.
